for

N4M's Community Guidelines
and
OPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Good Day!

Amen Catmom and Diannep!
Comment by diannep on April 25, 2015 at 10:02am

To tag on to what CatMom posted below------ especially on deployments....lots of theft happens, so very sad.  People must sit with laundry as it is being done on the ship....or it "gets legs" and walks away.  One female sailor left her wet towel on her rack just for a few moments, came back, and it was gone.  So sailors have to be mindful of locking up everything at all times....sad, isn't it?  But seems to be the way of the world now.

I think CatMom's last sentence below says it all....so very true! 

Good Morning!  Have a great weekend!

You're so welcome on the scripture, Mamabear~

I realize it is distressing for another SR to be dishonest, but your SR daughter stood up for herself and I hope that was cleared up.  It is a sad fact that the Navy is just like regular society in that there are all kinds of people there and you just have to watch out for yourself~~

The purpose of "hits" is to get the SRs to pay attention to detail.  One day a small detail is going to make all the difference!!

Comment by ellen0502 on April 24, 2015 at 1:28pm

MamaBear, Don't worry about the "hit" (not physical) there are dozens and dozens handed out in BC, it is a learning tool. Recruits can get a hit for not folding their blanket just so, a hit for gear adrift (even a small thread sticking out), etc.

My son had several "hits" in the first couple of weeks of BC for not shaving in the morning. The RDCs in the afternoon would look at him see the five o'clock shadow, and ask if he had shaved. He would of course reply "Yes Chief", but would still take a hit for "not shaving" He eventually started shaving twice a day, and got "caught".

When asked why he was just now shaving (words not verbatim) "Chief to be honest, this is the second time I have shaved today, and I am tired of getting hits for not shaving, so I am going to try and shave twice a day." The RDC replied something to the effect, "Well recruit, that is not necessary we will just call you Wolfman", and they did. He went through the rest of BC as Wolfman, Chewbacca, Sasquatch,  etc., but he didn't take another hit in BC for not shaving. :)

Moral of the story, don't worry about it too much it happens. They learn from them whether a personal hit or a compartmental hit. It is all good! :)

Comment by MamaBear on April 24, 2015 at 12:07pm

Good Morning beautiful Mommas!!  I also received a letter from my girl, also short and she did say it was because it was written during Hell Week and they didn't have enough time.  I am a little down today because she said that their Div. got a Compartment Hit, and what she says is that she and another girl were doing "Watch" I guess one guards the door and the other walks up and down to secure permises, well she says there's a certain way to write the information down and also to correct if needed.  She tells me that she had everything correct, then the other girl (she mentioned that this other girl is her supervisor) made a mistake and that the Rover (the one who checks) caught the mistake and it went under my daughter's name.  She was extremely furious, but that she talked to her Commanders (I guess) and they understood it wasn't her fault. 

Either way, she was very upset, I'm upset (mostly down) because of this and other issues pilling up at home...  I just ask that you keep them in your prayers, and the following tests they have they come out Victorious!!

Comment by Oleander on April 24, 2015 at 10:36am

Thanks diannep - I got a similar letter yesterday but her spirits were up. 

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2015 at 10:17am

BrownEyedMomma:  Your SR's division/brother division will be going through BattleStations last.  So it will be during PIR week for your SR.  And, true, very few are allowed to call this close to BattleStations.  Some may get a call after Captains Cup next Sat., but usually not.  However, that next call will be a fantastic one!  This PIR group will be starting BattleStations next Thurs night for some divisions.  The rest will do theirs during PIR week (over 3 nights total). 

Comment by BrownEyedMomma on April 24, 2015 at 10:09am
My SR is in ship 3 Div 176 and we got a letter yesterday. It was a good letter but she said they probably won't get any more phone calls until after battle stations. They are on 5-3 so they should be doing battle stations by this time next week. Sorry to share that we probably won't get any more calls but I figured it was better to know than to wait by the phone on the weekend and be disappointed.
